GLAZING WINDOWS AND THE LIKE AND DEVICE THEREFOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 28, 1913.

Application filed August 23, 1912. Serial No. 716,729.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY DONALD HOPE, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 55 Lionel street, Birmingham, WVarwickshire, England, have invent-ed new and useful Improvements in Glazing Windows and the like and Devices Therefor, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the glazing or setting of glass in metal window frames.

In setting glass sheets in metal window frames, it is a common practice to make holes in the frame or frame bars and to introduce into these holes, pins, of wood, lead, or other material which will support the glass and so prevent any undue strain from being placed upon the usual putty fillet. Wit-h this construction, however, if on the one hand glass of a less thickness than that which is suited to the holes is employed, the pins will not lie against the glass, and if, on the other hand thicker glass is employed, difliculty will be experienced in introducing the pins into the holes.

The object of my invention is to provide means for holding glass of any thickness which the frame is adapted to carry, and to this end the invention consists in the use of clips of metal which are at one end designed to be anchored tothe frame and at the other end to be bent down against the glass.

My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figures 1 and 2 are respectively an edge view and a face view of a clip suitable for carrying out my invention, and Fig. 3 is a sectional View illustrating the mode of using such clips.

at indicates a bar of a metal window frame, and b, 12 sheets of glass in the said frame.

0, o are the clips which I employ in accordance wit-h my invention; these clips are composed of copper or other ductile metal and are formed with a fiat portion cl and with a stud e. In practice the stud is advantageously formed by bending up one end of the said plate or a tongue projecting therefrom and closing it in a manner which will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 2.

Holes are formed in the bar a on a level with or near to the seat upon which the glass is laid; when the glass is to be fixed the clips are first placed in position, the stud portions 6 being inserted into the hole 7, as shown in Fig. 3, and the glass sheets are then placed in position so that they abut against the said clips and prevent the studs from coming out of the holes in which they are placed, the flat portions (Z of the said clips are then turned down by means of a putty knife or other tool, as indicated on the right hand side of Fig. 1, to hold the glass in position after which the putty fillet g is applied in the ordinary manner.

The glass will generally be bedded on putty as usual in glazing.

I claim- The combination with a window frame, of a clip for securing glass in the frame, said clip comprising a flat bendable supporting plate provided with an integral stud comprising bent portions of the plate, adjacent to one end thereof and at right angles thereto and of cylindrical form, said stud being held in an aperture in the sash bar by the edge of the glass and said glass being secured by bending over a portion of said flat plate.
